My viewpoint

Cheng Ran, 21, cadet

The money I got as New Year's presents made a record high this spring. Almost every one of my relatives gave me more than they did last year when I paid visits on them with my mother. From my aunts and uncles, I got 200 yuan ($29) from each of them. My grand parents were even more generous. They gave me 2,000. Altogether I received 4,500 yuan during Spring Festival. I hope it can be more next year. I don't think it is necessary for everyone who has worked to give money to the young. I refused the money my cousin intended to give me since he just started his career. I plan to use the money to dine out at weekends. I already have some enticing restaurant names on my list.
